project runway season 7

'Project Runway' (10PM, Lifetime) season 7 finale
Last week's season finale -- part one -- revealed black-and-white-obsessed designer Mila as the one who would join Emilio and Seth Aaron at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, where the trio will show off their collections and hope to become the seventh 'Project Runway' winner. Hostess Heidi Klum and judges Michael Kors and Nina Garcia are joined by a special celeb guest judge for the Bryant Park runway shows: country queen Faith Hill, who will help them decide which collection is best: Emilio's retro, red, turquoise frocks; Seth Aaron's leather-and-zipper heavy ensembles; or Mila's line-up, which, unsurprisingly, is light on any color except black and white.

When Tim Gunn enters a room on 'Project Runway' (Thu., 10PM ET on LIFE), everybody takes notice and it's usually with laughs and smiles. However, when Tim Gunn enters a room and asks to have a word with you outside, it's not all puppies and flowers.

In this clip, Gunn takes Seth Aaron out of the work room and returns alone. What happened? Your guess is as good as ours, but Gunn announces, "There are five of you. We were fully expecting for there to be six." Lifetime has teased that a designer is forced to leave -- and another returns. What a hot mess!

'Project Runway' (10PM, Lifetime) season 7 premiere
The boys and girls are back in town, as Lifetime follows a somewhat lackluster season in Los Angeles with a return to New York City and Michael Kors and Nina Garcia reclaiming, full-time, their judges chairs. Not that it's all smooth sailing in this season premiere ep; among the phrases uttered before and during the first designers challenge: "To be honest, I don't know how fashionable it is," "It looks like you glued a few different dresses together" and "We've never had anyone not finish." Guest judge Nicole Richie is very tactful in her assessments during the first 'Runway' show, and we predict you will be as surprised as we were when you see the hot mess of a design that doesn't get its designer booted in week one.

Let's cut to the chase: It went from hit show to (quoting one of our favorite alumni from back when the show was so good) a hot mess. Yes, season 6 of 'Project Runway' wasn't your father's 'Project Runway' -- or even your slightly older cousin's 'Project Runway' -- but in anticipation of the impending season 7 cast announcement, we've come up with a few ideas for getting the show back to our reality TV-addicted standards.

I finally, and with great difficulty got the tree up, I've somehow gotten roped into holding a cookie exchange at my house this weekend, and I have glitter in places where glitter should not be. What's that smell? It smells like Festivus to me. While the main thing I want this year is to just lie very, very still in a dark room for a week or so, this is a TV blog, so let's talk about what TV could do to make me happy!

Stop with the long hiatuses already! I don't get to see a new episode of V until March, and I'm being forced into leading a Glee-less existence until April. Give it up already! If you have 3 months between new episodes, it's a new season, why not call it that? You know what I have been doing for the past 11 weeks? Watching the first 11 episodes of Dexter. This week, I will be watching episode 12, and then the season will be over. It's efficient and satisfying. The networks need to get on board.
